Welcome to the York University Association of Graduate Students in the Biological Sciences (YorkU AGSBS) website!
What is the AGSBS?
The Association of Graduate Studies in the Biological Sciences (AGSBS) represents all biology graduate students (MSc and PhD) at York University in Toronto, Ontario.
Our members come from many different fields of biology including:
- Cell and Molecular Biology
- Animal and Plant Physiology
- Ecology and Evolution
We host events throughout the year for our members and host an annual symposium where we showcase the biology graduate student research happening at York University!
“Creativity in Sciences”
Join us for our 50th AGSBS Biology Symposium! This free, catered event will be held Tuesday, April 8th, 2025 at Founders Assembly Hall from 9am-5pm. We invite all graduate students to register today and support our fellow biograduate students and the work they are doing.
At this year’s symposium we will host our keynote speaker, Dr. Paul Frankland in addition to Patchen Barss and Dr. Nana H.R. Lee who will both be leading two separate workshops.
